Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the fabric's weight and weave construction to ensure it does not meet the statistical note definitions for sheeting or printcloth, which have separate subheadings
• Maintain records of yarn dyeing processes to prove the 'different colours' criterion
• Check if the fabric is coated or laminated, as that would move it to Chapter 39 or 40
